Mourinho: This MUST be the mentality
Jose Mourinho wants this to be the bare minimum for his Real Madrid stars.
'In my view, Real Madrid do not play to win at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid play to win La Liga,' he said.
'This must be the mentality. We need to continue like this and don’t go over the moon after this win.'

Mourinho: The VAR was SLEEPING
Jose Mourinho has used his post-match press conference to lay into the VAR.
He said: 'The referee was great but the VAR was sleeping in the 60th minute.
'There was a clear red card for Cancelo on Diomande that would have changed the game.'
Never change, Jose.

Let's hear from Hansi Flick
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick said:
'Today we saw were are not 100 per cent fresh. We were not playing at the highest level because of the freshness.
'Second half was good. We had two chances to score the second goal.
'I had the feeling on our side but at the end we made the same mistake, playing with aggression.
'It's not top for us but we have to accept it and defeats is part of the game. It's the first defeat in 10 games.
'We have a whole week before the next game to prepare and disconnect.'

A huge boost for Mourinho
Mourinho was so active on the touchline tonight, you'd think his life depended on it. He even did a knee slide when Mbappe scored the winner.
This is a huge weight off his shoulders, the first marquee win of his second reign in charge of Los Blancos.
Madrid managers are judged on trophies and their football, but just below that is their record in the El Clasico. The bragging rights matter - especially when they lost six of their last seven El Clasicos in the last two seasons.
It means his record in the fixture is now six wins, six draws, and six defeats. Neat.
22:09
Madrid close the gap on Barcelona
This is just what the doctor ordered with a view to keeping the La Liga title race healthy.
Suddenly, Barcelona's almost-perfect start to the campaign - nine wins in 10 games - doesn't even buy them much ground.
They're only two points ahead of Atletico Madrid and three above Real.
With the level these teams are playing at, we could be in for a title race for the ages.
22:06
Mbappe steals the show
Kylian Mbappe took his wand and waved it all over the Camp Nou. Now you see me, now you don't. Now the ball is in your net.
A brilliant night for the Madrid talisman, the day before the Ballon d'Or cermony. Not that this performance will count towards it. But he will he hoping his 42 goals from last season put him in with a shout...
22:02
FULL TIME: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
And it's over! Real Madrid have won in Barcelona's yard - and it's all thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappe!
22:00
The game is dragging on longer than expected. We're reached a 97th minute of added time. Mourinho rages about a foul by Balde on Mbappe - the Barca man goes in the book.
21:58
Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
No Trent Alexander-Arnold gets his taste of action... with 90 seconds to go. He and Espi are on, replacing Diomande and Guler.
21:57
Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
Barcelona are going long ball - you don't see that often. Desperate measures. Yamal tries to take on the world and runs into trouble.
Madrid are sitting off, inviting the pressure. Balde swings in a cross from the left, so dangerous, but nobody is there to meet it. Rodri is down with some sort of injury.
90+3

Five minutes added on: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid
